Salt myths #WorldSaltAwarenessWeek
If the label on a food product s
ays “sodium-free,” it contains no sodium.
Labels can be confusing, but you can figure them out with this cheat sheet:
Food labeling rules allow up to 5 mg per serving in a product labeled “sodium-free.”
Products labeled “very low-sodium” are allowed to have up to 35 mg per serving.
“Low-sodium” means 140 mg or less.
“Reduced sodium” means the usual sodium level has been cut by at least 25%.
“Unsalted,” “without added salt,” and “no salt added” mean that it contains no extra salt beyond the amount that occurs naturally in the food.
When you’re scanning a food label, don’t just look for the word “salt.” Watch out for various forms of sodium or other names for the same thing:
ascorbatesodium, bicarbonate (baking soda)sodium, benzoatesodium, caseinatesodium, phosphatemonosodium, glutamate (MSG)trisodium,
Eat salt not more then a tsp a day ….spice up your life long way through.
